Album Review

This 41-track collection by "The Queen of Soul," Aretha Franklin, is cross-licensed to reflect her biggest hits on Atlantic, Arista, and Columbia and crosses a range of styles. It contains her biggest singles, from “Respect” and “I Say a Little Prayer for You” to “Who’s Zoomin’ Who” and “Freeway of Love.” It also contains a number of stellar interpretations of gospel, rock and pop nuggets that may have been overlooked at the time, but are stellar performances nonetheless. Check out Franklin's readings of Curtis Mayfield's “People Get Ready” and Lennon and McCartney’s “The Long and Winding Road” as examples.
